"Cindy!" From a distance, Petra panicked and darted over.
However, there was someone quicker than her. He went ahead and took Cindy into his arms.
"Quick, call 120.”
"Where did the family doctor go? Quickly give her a check-up."
All of a sudden, the hall was in a great frenzy. Some were checking on Cindy while some were softly comforting Petra.
A while later, Cindy finally opened her eyes. She stared at Theo who was carrying her and said weakly," Theowy, my whole body is aching. Will you send me to the hospital, please?"
"Okay." Theo glanced at me while I stood at the top of the stairs. He looked cold from head to toe. He carried Cindy out of the door as Petra and Grayson followed closely behind.
Guests who were left behind in the hall were talking quietly.
"It couldn’t be Mrs. Grant who pushed her, right? I saw
them talking earlier." “As expected, jealousy makes one go crazy. It must be her. I heard that President Grant always treats Miss Reed kindly, and Mrs. Grant is really unhappy about it. Besides, Miss Reed found her parents today. She must be afraid of losing her status, that's why she pushed her."
"But honestly, someone as outstanding as President Grant is a better match for someone with a status like Miss Reed's. Mrs. Grant must be afraid of that and hurt her!"
"I didn’t see that coming at all. She looks like a gentle person. Who knew she'd do such a thing?"
“What's so strange about it? Aren't all rich people like that?"
I found it slightly amusing listening to those unabashed discussions downstairs, but I could not bring myself to laugh.
A night of repeated drama made me exhausted. I just wanted to go home now.
"I always thought you were very smart. I didn't think you'd lose control and take action with so many people around." Zedd had enough of the scene and started to pick a fight with me again. "But it’s true.
Your looks never came close to Cindy's, and even your family background isn't comparable to hers. What makes you worthy of being with Theo? Take my
advice and just forget it. Only Cindy is worthy of being with him."
